Bug#292643: ITP: cl-s-xml -- simple Common Lisp XML parser

2005-01-28 Thread D. Starner
> This XML parser implementation has the following limitations:

What do you mean, "simple" character sets? What's the difference
between a simple character set and a complex character set?

Re: scripts to download porn in Debian?

2005-01-25 Thread D. Starner
How is this going to help parents? I don't want my future 
kids to read Something Positive; it's not pornographic, I 
don't recall nudity, but that level of cold-hearted cynicism
is not something I want my kids exposed to, at least not
at a young age. Should we set this up to only grab Garfield,
Peanuts, and Calvin and Hobbes? Or accept that there's no bright
line here, and that every parent should take the time to
examine the comics themselves?

To avoid a flame war, you curse at me, flame me, tell me what do and
to boot are hypocritical in the last part (as you too are writing a
useless message.) Perhaps you should try politeness to avoid a flame
war.

The reason why debian-private exists is so people can
talk about sensitive issues without posting them on
the web, especially things involving personal or private
things between people. It's not so we can hide technical
discussions about non-security issues away from everyone.

I agree with him; not speaking for him, but...

That that's wrong. That GRs have been proposed way too much recently.
That we should discuss things long before we propose a GR, so that
even if it's formally necessary to have a GR, it's largely a moot
issue. That GR's are a last step, not a first one.

> It is our right to hide things.

Just because it's your "right" to hide things, doesn't mean that
you must or should.

And that's _so_ much better.

Re: ITP: cddb.bundle -- CDDB Bundle for GNUstep

When Linux boots up.

At one point in time, GNUstep loaded daemons at bootup, before X was even
started. Apparently, it doesn't now, I guess.

Do the GNUstep libs still start a demon at startup? Last time I 
checked, they did, instead of starting them only if you were running
a GNUstep program, like KDE and GNOME do. When I asked about it, 
the Debian developer said they didn't care about mixed use environments. 
If it still requires a demon running, then that is an important
depends that needs labeling.
